The Watering Hole


Now and then I need some inspiration. No ideas were coming to me today. None. Zip. Nada. Nothing.


Not even a weird idea like seeing if I can capture the splash of a tire in a puddle as a car zips down the street at night with my strobe set to freeze gyser of water drops flying toward some poor bystander in his/her fancy go to dinner clothes waiting out on the sidewalk to be seated at their table.


Ok, I thought of that one. I just couldn't see getting out there to do it today.


So, what to shoot? I took a sneak peek at other sites today. I've been trying to post mine before I look to see what my buddies have done. When I saw Tim's I knew I wanted to mess around with a reflective surface (thanks Tim!). I'm saving lockers for another day...


Shot with a 50mm lens at f11, 1/250th, iso 100 with a single 430EX bounced off some foam core board.
